For Fall 2026, Dawson lists $202.30 in registration, instructional, student-services, student-union and voluntary foundation-donation charges. Adding the listed $27 dental and $34 health insurance premiums produces a $263.30 total; those insurance premiums and the $10 donation are separate components, and a $20 convocation fee may apply. Course-in-program tuition is shown as no charge for this full-time program category, before any status-based additions.
For Fall 2026, returning students’ regular fees were due March 31. New students were invoiced the week of May 4, with payment due May 29. Non-Quebec and international status fees were assessed the week of July 6 and due August 19. These payment dates have passed; check MyDawson for an outstanding balance. The fee page lists September 18, 2026 as the official-withdrawal refund cutoff for the convocation and status-based fees; other listed refund cutoffs were August 19.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents who are not Quebec residents pay an additional $1,926 per semester for full-time study in a program. Part-time non-Quebec study has a separate $7.40 per-course-hour addition, so the semester amount does not apply to every course load. International student fees are additional and vary by the applicable regulated or college assessment; use the student’s invoice rather than the Canadian non-Quebec figure.
Quebec’s current tuition guidance says additional college-level lump sums apply to Canadian non-residents of Quebec and international students, subject to exemptions and status documentation. Dawson says residency documentation should be supplied promptly and fees can remain on the account until status is changed. Dawson’s Financial Aid office directs students to the AFE online application and its loans-and-bursaries guidance. Use the Finance student-fee contacts for billing or residency questions; funding eligibility belongs to the applicable program or government assessment.
